apart from Rick Remender who finally got around to it. The Riddler has only slightly worse customer service than T-Mobile, I see, in today's rather climactic Batman. Though the Hood has mobile phone-and-comics issues of his own in Original Sins… see the faint blue print at the bottom. Savage Hulk, set in the days of Neal Adams' X-Men,[...]

Naming Today's Original Sins – Hulk/Iron Man, Original Sins And Fantastic Four
Looks like the DRM has been cracked rather easily… Also, kids, do drugs. In conclusion, the most original sin is the torrenting, the least original sin is the Black Knight almost killing someone and the one that may have the biggest effect on the Marvel Universe is the gamma bomb repurposing… as far as we know. Comics courtesy[...]
The New Avengers Vs The Justice League
We previously pointed out the resemblance of a parallel Earth superhero team to a certain DC comic book. It's a crossover that has happened in the ast but, of late, has mostly been scuppered by Marvel and DC's unwillingness to get along, and Marvel's once-editor in chief's comparison made in the national press of DC's once[...]
Nope, Looks Like The New 52 Superman Never Wore The Red Trunks, Not Even For A Bit
We asked "have the DC spods got enough time to amend it before the final issue is published next month? Or is it already at the printers?" Well, today we got that answer. Red trunks… begone!
